Ok ok . I will turn off the news. (Rachel too?) as far as getting outside, not everyone lives in California!! But overall. Very good advice. And thanks for the shout out!

Yeah, yeah, yeah… all of it, for now, for a while; for me it might be forever, we’ll see! And hey, getting outside, even in Chicago, is doable most of the year. When it’s not, there’s always the Conservatory!

Always happy to give you a shout-out! ❤️

I've been thinking of you. What happened is heartbreaking! But as Kamala said despair gets you nowhere, or something like that. However, I'm an optimist. I'm looking for the rainbow. Your tips are great. I've suggested similar ones in my upcoming book, Along Came a Gardener, which I hope will be inspirational for many. Sending you a hug. 🤗💕

Thank you, Diana; it is heartbreaking, incredibly so. I keep thinking: "What we could've had..." I'm generally an optimist, but with Trump incoming, I feel more dread than optimism. But I'm applying my six steps and that's helping me a lot.

Look forward to your new book, my friend!
